The United States opened an embassy branch office in Dubai on 1 December 1976, located in Al Futtaim Building on the Creek Road in Deira. The branch office was moved to the Dubai World Trade Centre in 1981, located on Sheikh Zayed Road. On 1 December 1985, the embassy branch office was designated as a Consulate-General. The US Consulate-General is now hosted in the New Consulate Compound (NCC), a six-acre site in Bur Dubai located adjacent to the Dubai Creek, inaugurated in 2011.^[2]

The current consul-general is called Paul R. Malik, and previous to his role in the UAE, he served as Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in the Sultanate of Oman from 2013 to 2015.^[3]
